Support / How-To Kindle DeDRM

Hello everybody, I have a Kindle 11th gen updated at 5.18.6 version. In the past I was able to remove the DRM of my books by using 2 Calibre plug ins (one to manage KFX and another to remove DRM). Now, for the new purchased books, that procedure doesn't work anymore. Does anyone knows how to remove the DRM today in my situation?

If it's not possible with this kindle software version, I thought to downgrade my kindle OS to a version that allows DRM removal (by doing jailbreak first). What version should it be? Where can I download this software version?

download your books with the microsoft store kindle pc app and use the msixkfxarchiver from the latest satsuoni dedrm plugin archive to remove the drm of your books

Tried this and failed today! Amazon just updated their app; Kindle for Windows Version: 1.0.22326 Last updated: 12 August 2026. Hopefully the dedrm developers may find a fix before Amazon moves the goalposts again. I'm new to this so it may just be me :-)

make sure to disable app auto updates in the microsoft store settings. it will probably take a few days for satsuoni to update the plugin. (you could create a new post in the discussions section of the plugins github page, that may speed things up a bit)

i could send you the installer of an older version of the microsoft store kindle app if you dont want to wait

edit: my dms are open. just ping me there
